FT: Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham

1. Substitute Gibbs rescues point for Arsenal
2. Kane slotted Spurs in front with cool finish
3. Arsenal stay second, Spurs move up to 5th

Well then, a point apiece in the north London derby and that's a wrap from us for the evening.

We are going into cryogenic storage during the international break. See you on the other side...

'A great talent'

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs goalscorer Harry Kane tells BBC Sport: "We played very well. Even in the second half we had our chances to kill it off, but if you don’t kill top teams off they come back at you. There was talk about whether we'd have enough energy and I thought we showed we did."

On Dele Alli: "He's a great, great talent. It doesn't matter what stage he's on, he'll try things and try to express himself, which is great for Spurs and great for the country."

'A good 1-1'

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "In the second half we showed the mental strength of a side determined not to lose the game. In the end I think it’s a good 1-1.

"Kieran Gibbs' movement is good. His timing in the box is good. Sometimes when he gets into a position he doesn't believe he can score.

"What this championship shows is that you have to fight 200% in every game for a result, you've seen that in all the games today. It shows it will be down to the team that can find the mental resource in every game."

'We should be proud'

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino tells BBC Sport: "The way we played we should feel very proud. The effort was brilliant. The level we showed and the commitment was fantastic. It’s the way we want to carry on.

"In six days we've played three matches, maybe we felt it in the final minutes. We need to recognise we are a very young team. This experience is very important.

"We need to show we are maturing. The level we have today is good, we need to show more and to improve. It's early to set a limit or to expect a lot of things."

Back in form

Harry Kane has scored 10 goals in 13 Premier League London derbies.

The England forward has scored five goals in his last three Premier League games. He also has 22 Premier League goals in 2015, four more than any other player in the competition.

Danny Charity: If that match taught us anything, it's that Arsenal will never be serious title challengers with Giroud as main striker.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger tells Sky Sports: "Tottenham bossed the first half, Santi Cazorla was not at the races. We had restricted options on the bench.

"I must give credit to players, they refused to lose the game.

"We now gain two weeks' treatment for 10 players who are not available and I hope that we do not lose more."

That is a strange one. Surely if Santi Cazorla was not feeling well he should have told the bench?

'Cazorla was half conscious'

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "The game could have gone both ways. We were a bit unlucky as well because we played the first half with Santi Cazorla who was half conscious.

"I changed him at half-time. I don’t know what happened to him. He felt perfectly alright earlier, but when we went to go back out they said he felt dizzy."

Arsene Wenger says that every game in the Premier League goes to the wire and that Santi Cazorla was feeling dizzy during the first half.

Full quotes to come.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "Yes we should have won but I feel very proud of the players. We played very well. You need to kill the game. When we were 1-0 up we had chances to score again.

"We played three matches in six days and had one day less to recover but we showed great character and personality.

"We need to carry on in the same philosophy. But we are 11 games unbeaten and I can feel hugely proud. The progress we are making is correct."

'Disappointing to drop points'

Arsenal

Arsenal goalscorer Kieran Gibbs on Sky Sports: "Goals don't come often for me but when they do hopefully it's enough to help the team. We know what the game means to everyone. We're struggling with injuries at the moment, players were tired from midweek. Obviously it's disappointing to drop points, especially when we're in such a strong position in the league."

'A great game'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"Kyle Walker's had a great game and not done much wrong. Harry Kane has been isolated but comes away with a goal and will start for England against Spain. For Arsenal, Olivier Giroud has been a big target, Mesut Ozil is close to being back to his best. It's been a really great game.

"Arsenal had to do something to get back into the game. Spurs looked a threat in the second half, but I think a draw was probably about right."

A good day for Leicester

BBC Sport

No wins for Arsenal or Manchester City means that it's a good day for Leicester and Manchester United at the top of the table.

All over! A good point for Arsenal as they looked like being swamped for a period of time in the second half, a good result for Spurs as it keeps their long unbeaten run going.

One last chance for Spurs? Free-kick on halfway...

Arsenal have been well no top but there's a glimmer of a chance for Spurs as Harry Kane spins away from a tired challenge and shoots wide on his left foot.

He's in there again Kieran Gibbs! Per Mertesacker flicks on a corner and he's almost there at the far post again but this time Hugo Lloris shovels it away. From the corner Olivier Giroud batters a shot on the bounce over the top.

The Emirates bouncing now, now it's Tottenham who look slack at the back...

'Gibbs is where it counts'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"He's in there. Kieran Gibbs has come on as a substitute and he's there where it counts, making a nuisance of himself. He got it on target which is the one thing you need to do - he gets his reward."

Reuters

GOAL - Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham

Kieran Gibbs can add an attacking threat! But it's poor from the usually reliable Hugo Lloris. Mesut Ozil stands up a cross to the far post, Gibbs is behind Kyle Walker to get a shot in on goal, down into the turf and Lloris should save that but it bounces past him and in.

Not sure Arsenal deserve that but they'll take it!

Arsenal look tired now. You try chasing Bayern Munich around the park for 90 minutes a few days before a derby with your biggest rivals.

Harry Kane's eyes light up for number two but his header is turned over, and then from the corner Petr Cech has to make a flying save to keep out a Toby Alderweireld header!

It's all Spurs. 

'Spurs are finding space'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"Every time Spurs go forward they look like they can score. Erik Lamela, Christan Eriksen, Harry Kane - all finding space. The Arsenal defence has to be tighter."

Don't blame me! Sir Les or Big Dunc would have scored twice since half-time. Fact.

Instead it's Tottenham who look the more dangerous still.

Get Involved

CLOSE!

Kyle Walker has the legs on this Arsenal team and gets down the right again, this time he has the ability to pick out Christian Eriksen in the box, his first-time shot is heading in until Petr Cech claws it away.

Seconds later Harry Kane is slid in behind the line and drags a great chance wide.

Should be game over!

'Giroud does everything right'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"Olivier Giroud won't have a better opportunity to score all season. He does everything right really and it just goes past the far post. People will say he should have scored it - but he's unlucky for the ball not to roll in."

As it stands Spurs will be just three points off top. It's been a bad Sunday for Arsenal and Manchester City up there.

CLOSE!

Well he really, really has to score that one! Corner from the right, Olivier Giroud unmarked six yards out, he heads it a yard wide. Bury that one!

Getty Images

Erik Lamela may not be a world beater yet but there's a lot more about him than when he first joined Spurs. He's on a booking and then clatters another player, showing a more combative streak...

Reuters

Olivier Giroud (number 12) has got to score from there, hasn't he?

opta

All aboard the Dele Alli bandwagon! Roy Hodgson is in the stands, he's a fan and has picked the teenager for his current England squad. Alli has been immense today, no doubt about that.

Plenty of doubt about this as Petr Cech and Per Mertesacker get into a right old mess at the back, they almost give the ball to Erik Lamela for a tap-in. Dear oh dear...

'Alli has controlled play'

"What a player Dele Alli is. He has controlled the play and made good use of the ball. He looks a good athlete."

Maybe it's the change in shorts that have motivated Alli?

HITS THE WOODWORK

Got to score that! Big chance for that man in the air, Olivier Giroud gets away from his marker to meet a free-kick, and he heads against the crossbar from five yards out!

Getty Images

CLOSE!

Spurs have now put Dele Alli into the hole and he's not falling down it, beating Mathieu Flamini easily with a lovely touch. Spurs then move it around nicely and send in Christian Eriksen, he shoots from a tight angle and it deflects off the thigh of Flamini and spins just wide...

'Spurs have impressed me'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"This is a very capable Tottenham side. They have good legs in the middle of the park and the two Belgian centre backs who have excelled. They have clever players and flair. They've done well and impressed me.

"It's a deserved lead. They've been assured and comfortable at the back. I expect Arsenal to be more positive and to have more efforts on goal in the second half."

HALF-TIME

"It's one of the most accomplished 45 minutes from Spurs I've seen. It's no secret that Tottenham play a high pressing game but this is a very mature performance from Mauricio Pochettino's side."

Spurs looking good as we approach half-time, but they've twice led in the derby at the Emirates in recent years and gone on to lose. Arsene Wenger will not be happy with his team's showing though. Very flat. 

Better from Arsenal, as they have their first effort of the day, Alexis Sanchez trying a backheel from Joel Campbell's low driven cross but it's easy for Hugo Lloris.

Before today the longest they had gone this season without a shot on goal was eight minutes. 

Here's that Harry Kane goal in graphical form. Perhaps the most impressive feature was the second he gave himself to compose before slotting home. That can be seen in the dotted line in front of the number 10.

Silliness, lots of silliness. First, Olivier Giroud is baulked off the ball and he wants a penalty but nobody saw it. Play on, and Giroud gets up and pushes Jan Vertonghen over. Again, nobody saw it. Giroud needs to calm down or he'll be seeing red here...

'Where's Mertesacker?'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"What a ball in from Danny Rose. Where Per Mertesacker is I don't know - he had to get across. Harry Kane is left one-on-one an it's a beautiful finish. He hits it into the ground and it bounces over Petr Cech."

Reuters

That's five in his last three league starts for Harry Kane after his slow start to the season. You could see the confidence back in him as he waited to take that chance.

Reuters

GOAL - Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham

Clinical. Absolutely clinical! Danny Rose plays a clever ball over the top, Laurent Koscielny steps up to play offside and Harry Kane is away and onside.

Kane has a lot of time, but he uses it really well. Delays the shot, waits for Petr Cech to move and just glides the shot across the keeper and in. 

Getty Images

Arsenal are yet to have a shot on goal.

Who do they miss the most? I guess Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott and Hector Bellerin would all be in the team if fit...

Spurs now having a lengthy spell of possession, slowing the game down. They work it well too, waiting for Kyle Walker to join in and cross, it goes all the way through to Danny Rose but his shot over the top is poor.

Erik Lamela is then almost in but Nacho Monreal reads it well to cut it out. The visitors look dangerous!

'Dier is totally unmarked'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"What a chance for Eric Dier. A free header at the back post. He's totally unmarked. He's only got to put it on target, but it's come off the side of his head."

Reuters

Harry Kane's touch map suggests he might need to be more disciplined in the positions he takes up? All over the place at the moment. He's got Rooneyitis.

Opta

CLOSE!

We have had a goal at Anfield so it won't be a totally goalless day.

Can we get a breakthrough at the Emirates? Oooh that is close! Eric Dier is left free at the back post and he heads wide!

'Not malicious'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"It looks a bit worse than it actually is. Saying that if the linesman sees it, he might have done something about it. I don't think it was malicious."

Joel Campbell is in the news again, he sticks out an arm to stop Danny Rose overlap him and catches the left-back in the face. He's lucky to escape a card there. Game getting a bit tetchy.

Spurs have a rare attack and it ends with a shot from Mousa Dembele which is deflected wide. Two in two for the Belgian, he smells goals.

Nearly nice! Joel Campbell leads a charge through the middle, he finds Mesut Ozil on the left, he tries to find Alexis Sanchez but his touch gets away from him.

Does this average position graphic suggest Arsenal are too isolated from each other? Or that Tottenham need to spread out?

Or neither?

'Campbell is so strong'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"Arsenal are playing all the football but Spurs are looking dangerous on the counter. 

"I'm surprised by Joel Campbell - he's very slight but is so strong. It's difficult to push him off the ball."

AFP/GETTY

People may try and tell you that the Premier League is no longer the best league in the world but where else would you get Joel Campbell v Danny Rose in a clash of two of the top five?

Campbell, easily in the top three Campbells to play for Arsenal in the Premier League, runs it out of play. No chances of note as yet.

No goals in the Premier League today and it's almost dark. Come on!

Joel Campbell keeps the width out right for Arsenal and is almost in when Alexis Sanchez plays a cute pass through, he runs out of room though. It's all 100mph stuff so far. 

'Spurs look capable on paper'

John Hartson

Former Arsenal and West Ham striker on BBC Radio 5 live

"After losing 5-1 to Bayern Munich there is no better game for Arsenal to get that out of their system than a North London derby. But Spurs look a very capable side on paper.

"This has started at a ferocious pace. It's remarkable. Can somebody kick the ball out of play so we can have a breather?"  

AFP/GETTY

The Premier League in microcosm. High-speed, high-tempo, low in quality.

First Tottenham break clear after a turnover, Kyle Walker provides the width, the ball comes over but it breaks down. Cue Arsenal break, same story, men flying forwards, an overlap is on but the final pass is poor again.

Christian Eriksen starts out on the left for Spurs, is that a waste? I'd have him in the number 10 role personally. But what do I know.

Maybe Tottenham don't rate Joel Campbell when it comes to tracking back. The Costa Rican is on the right for the Gunners.

That is nowhere near good enough. It's just a shocking record, hence Arsenal always finishing above Spurs in the table."  

'We must respond to Munich defeat'

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger on Sky Sports: "I hope the players have recovered from Munich but it was intense physically.

"You always want to respond to a disappointing result, we have conceded five goals, we accept that and now we must respond. Overall we have a good defensive record.

"Is this one of the best Tottenham sides I have faced? I will tell you after the game. They look very well balanced and can hurt you on the counter attack."

"This season, with Manchester United not playing brilliantly and Chelsea well below their usual standards, there is a massive chance for them.

"Sunday's north London derby at Arsenal will be a huge test of where Spurs are at, especially because they have been battered at Emirates Stadium a couple of times in the past few years."

'A high-scoring draw?'

"North London derbies after Arsenal versus Bayern encounters have become common. In 2014 the Gunners won at Spurs after a morale-boosting, if futile, draw in Munich.

"But the home humbling by the Germans in February 2013 left them so befuddled they lost at Tottenham 12 days later.

"If they're to hold their season together they can't afford to let the auld enemy go away with just a second victory from 26 visits.

"Injuries to Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have blunted Arsenal's pace, and they can't defend without Laurent Koscielny - so will be relieved the Frenchman is expected to be fit.
